Hey everyone. My small dog (beagle x chihuahua mix) was on Orijen Puppy and she loved it. Was always excited about food time. However, she was itchy, and the vet thinks it’s the amount of fish or something with Orijen products (she had an even worse reaction when we gave her orijen six fish treats but does well with Blue Salmon Treats for example). Her stool was not very good as well.
We then transitioned her to Royal Canin Small Breed Puppy. She’s no longer itchy and her poop looks fine. But she simply hates it. She eats it because she’s healthy and knows she needs to survive, but she’s always spitting it, and takes FOREVER to go to her bowl. She sometimes complains when she sees the bowl. She’s not picky cause she eats it, she’s just not happy and always leave a considerable amount of leftovers.
Do you guys have any recommendations? Any experience with a brand that made your dogs eat well? We were thinking about Hills Science Diet but don’t know. Some people say it smells like real food, which was something we appreciated about Orijen (and she probably liked it too). We are just trying to avoid anything too similar to Orijen because of her experience, but we still want something that tastes good. Any tip is welcome. Thanks!
